Division Description Test method
Orthoptic test -
(Binocular balance)
This test is for
checking binocular
accommodation balance
using Red/Green filter.
1. Show binocular test types to a patient.
2. Let a patient wear Red/Green glasses (right eye = red
filter, left eye = green filter).
3. Ask a patient which line of both above and below lines
is shown much clearer. If above line is clearer +0.25D as
much should be added at a right eye. On the contrary, if
below line is clearer +0.25D as much should be added at
a left eye.
> Do like this until both lines are equally seen.
Division Description Test method
Orthoptic test -
(Worth 4 dots)
This test is for checking
existence and nonexistence
of suppression and whether
it is possible to blending
using Red/Green filter.
1. Show Worth 4 dots test type.
2. Let a patient wear Red/Green glasses (right eye = red
filter, left eye = green filter).
The patient sees mark in a right eye and mark in a ⓐ ⓑ
left eye on Worth 4 dots test type. The binocular
condition would be ideal, if the patient could see mark.ⓒ
3. Judge a patient's binocular function as below, while
asking him how the type is seen.
Left eye's suppressionⓐ
> Left eye would be suppressed, if a
patient saw only 2 red lights.
Right eye's suppressionⓑ
> Right eye would be suppressed, if a
patient saw only 3 green lights.
Blendingⓒ
> If a patient saw 4 dots, binocular
function would be normal.
Diplopiaⓓ
> If a patient saw 5 dots, he/she would
have diplopia.
